Tusk is the first album the band released following its reunion, and the band initially claimed that it was recorded before their break up.[5] However, it was recorded in the period leading up to their reunion tour.[6]
Background
In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, bass player Victor Krummenacher admitted that some of the band members hate the 1979 album, saying that it was "like the Magnificent Ambersons of rock, a work that's supposed to be good, but is really just a cocaine-damaged horror of excess. Which is why we took it on, I suppose, and I think we improved upon it."[7]
Lindsey Buckingham, a member of Fleetwood Mac who performed and wrote much of the material on Tusk, said that he "loved" Camper Van Beethoven's rendition of the album.
They took some of the songs to such different places. I thought, "Wow, where did they come up with that?" Just the fact that a group of guys would sit around and want to remake a whole album like that. That was just a trip, I have to say. I loved it.
— Lindsey Buckingham[8]
